Tom Cruise can still deliver the goods, people. It is a fact. I don't care what a movie star does in his personal life any more than I care if the guy who made my Big Mac loves or hates Game of Thrones. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Cruise is great as a leading man, and Edge of Tomorrow looks to be thrusting him into the middle of science fiction action at its best. Having director Doug Liman at the helm means we have a shot at a real quality film, as long as he is more Bourne and less Jumper. I have yet to be completely blown away by Emily Blunt, but she is just so easy on the eyes and ears that I will just bet on the fact that she will be a nice flower in an otherwise cold and metallic future that he seems to have created. Let's run it through a formula and see what happens:
Blockbuster Formula:
(Tom Cruise + Budget - Jumping On Couches On Oprah)
X
(Cool Concept - Lofty Ambition)
